[KineJapan] Call for Papers, MLA 2015 in Vancouver

[Melek Ortabasi]

Hello everyone,

I am writing on behalf of the MLA Division for East Asian Languages and Literatures after 1900. In the interests of promoting the participation of Asianists in the Modern Languages Association, we would like to pass on the MLA’s call for panel proposals to our colleagues in the field. While we cannot guarantee the acceptance of these proposals by the MLA, we on the committee (which comprises Japanologists, Sinologists and Koreanists) would like to offer our guidance in negotiating the MLA special session application process. You do have to be a member of the MLA to propose/participate. Interested parties should consult the following page for the basic guidelines:

http://www.mla.org/ssp_main

If you have additional questions or concerns, please feel free to email me personally at mso1 at sfu.ca.

Cross-border and/interdisciplinary panels are likely to be of particular interest, but panels confined to a single national tradition are also welcome. MLA is also calling for other innovative formats: https://www.mla.org/innovative_proposals

Exciting changes benefiting Asianists at the MLA are in the near future. We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver in January 2015!

Apologies for cross-posting.

Very best regards,
Melek

"Be an international writer...your real home country will be that common ground your work plows between you and your reader...Quit hiding behind [y]our strengths and stand beside [y]our weaknesses and say, These are mine! These are what I'm working to fix! Learn to be completely honest. Then your work will transcend calendars and borders. Goethe called it World Literature...He said it's up to each of us to hasten this development."

-Miguel Syjuco, _Ilustrado_
